Vellum vs Treron

VellumCloverdale PaintvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 28.6Very different colors

Vellum is a Cloverdale Paint color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. Vellum reads as beige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 66 vs 25, Vellum will read as the brighter of the two — a 42-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 28.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Vellum vs Treron in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Vellum and Treron in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Vellum returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
